Too Happy To Be Alive Lyrics

We’re still breathing, this can’t be love
Baby we’re trying, shed a few tears more
Oh, we keep on running, just to get caught
And we know this is, exactly what we want, uh huh ohh

We fear for the best, and hope for the worst
(Too happy to be alive…)
When love’s lie is blessed, loves lie cursed
(Too happy to be alive…)

We fear for the best, and hope for the worst
(Too happy to be alive…)
When love’s lie is blessed, loves lie cursed
(Too happy to be alive…)

Now we feel it coming, piercing our hearts
Fingers crossed and we’re praying, nothing goes wrong
And finally it’s happening, just a knock on our door
Our hearts are beating, oh, it’s just begun

We fear for the best, and hope for the worst
(Too happy to be alive…)
When love’s lie is blessed, loves lie cursed
(Too happy to be alive…)

We fear for the best, and hope for the worst
(Too happy to be alive…)
When love’s lie is blessed, loves lie cursed
(Too happy to be alive…)

[Solo]

We fear for the best, and hope for the worst
(Too happy to be alive…)
When love’s lie is blessed, loves lie cursed
(Too happy to be alive…)

We fear for the best, and hope for the worst
(Too happy to be alive…)
When love’s lie is blessed, loves lie cursed
(Too happy to be alive…)

Too happy
Too happy
(Too happy…)
And we’re too happy to be alive
And we’re too happy to be alive
‘Cause we’re too happy to be alive
Ohh my love, so...

Awesome Him-song. sounds like something from the 80's

Cover art for Too Happy To Be Alive lyrics by HIM

the begining sounds like one of the rhythms on a cheap keyboard and i love it lol....Him can do no wrong...even if the song sounds kinda cheap...what are the high voices in the chorus?

Cover art for Too Happy To Be Alive lyrics by HIM

The "Too Happy To Be Alive" repeated in the Chorus is Ville singing..

Good song. I love the lyrics, and there's hardly anything but keyboards in this song..

"We fear for the best, and hope for the worst" "What love’s life’s blessed, love’s life’s cursed"

Some form of those two quotes are in "Death Is In Love With Us" so I think that the meaning of the song should be somewhere close to the meaning in "Death Is In Love With Us." Either that or the same meaning as "Join Me In Death."

Funny, almost every line in this song is repeated in another song. It's like summarizing his work. LOL Ville, getting a little lazy, are we? :)

@hotsoupwoman lol this was a demo before the other songs existed. it's a glimpse into his songwriting process and the demo wasn't meant to be released

More like this was a demo that turned into his other work... Very good song though, The demos the guys put out are as good as the stuff that ends up on their albums

I dance every time I hear this.

Cover art for Too Happy To Be Alive lyrics by HIM

this is one of my favorite rare him songs, along with loves requiem and 9th circle

To me, the Verses meaning i liken to, two lovers getting caught being together.

Fingers crossed and we’re praying, nothing goes wrong And finally it’s happening, just a knock on our door Our hearts are beating, oh, it’s just begun

but still i find it funny how many different interpretations one song can have. It depends on how you look at it i guess.

But still i do love this song! The Synth intro is gold.

amazing song.

it was recorded in fall 1998, and released over the internet in 2004. and yep-- it was a demo for death is in love with us.

personally, i like this one better.
